Dog ramps and steps guide

Ramps and steps help small, older and recovering dogs reach the car, sofa or bed without jumping.

Ramp or steps?

Ramps give a smooth, gradual slope. Steps take less floor space.

Car ramps

Look for a non-slip surface, a secure lip and a length that gives a gentle slope for your car height.

Folding ramps

Folding or telescopic ramps store in the boot.

Check

Measure the sill height and the space you have behind the car.

Pet steps

Foldable or storage steps suit sofas and beds. Check the number of steps and the height you need to reach.

Using them safely

Introduce a new ramp slowly.

Training

Lay the ramp flat on the floor first and reward your dog for walking across it.

Raise it gradually

Increase the height in stages and keep sessions short.

Weight

Always stay within the maximum load shown.

Frequently asked questions

What weight can a dog ramp hold?

It depends on the model. Check the maximum load on the product page and stay well inside it.

How do I get my dog used to a ramp?

Start with the ramp flat, use treats and praise and raise it gradually.

Ramp or steps for the sofa?

Steps are compact. A ramp is gentler for very small, older or stiff dogs.
